Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your dash cam system.

1. Prepare the SD Card: Insert the included 32GB SD card into the dash cam's SD card slot. Ensure it clicks into place. It is recommended to format the SD card within the dash cam settings before first use.
2. Choose Mounting Location: Select a location on your windshield that does not obstruct your view, typically behind the rearview mirror.
3. Attach Mount:
   • Suction Cup Mount: Press the suction cup firmly against the clean windshield and flip the lever to secure.
   • Adhesive Mount: Peel off the protective film from the 3M adhesive and firmly press the mount onto the clean windshield for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully bond before attaching the dash cam.
4. Mount the Dash Cam: Slide the main dash cam unit onto the chosen mount until it locks securely.
5. Connect Power: Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the mini USB end of the car charger cable to the dash cam's power port.
6. Route Cables: Use the included crowbar and cable clips to neatly tuck the power cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard, keeping it out of the way.
7. Install Rear Camera:
   • Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield or license plate area using its adhesive or screws.
   • Connect the 18 ft rear camera cable to the rear camera and route it to the main dash cam unit, plugging it into the designated rear camera input port.

Operating Instructions

Understand the various functions and how to operate your DKK Dash Cam.

Automatic Recording (Loop Recording)

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin recording. The loop recording function ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest unlocked video files when the SD card is full. Video segments are typically recorded in 1, 3, or 5-minute intervals (configurable in settings).

Figure 6: Loop recording ensures continuous video capture, automatically overwriting older files.

G-Sensor (Accident Lock)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden shakes or collisions. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock a video by pressing the designated lock button during recording.

Parking Monitor

When the parking monitor function is enabled, the dash cam will automatically sense and record a short video (typically 1 minute) if your car is hit or scratched while parked. This feature requires a continuous power supply, which may necessitate an additional hardwire kit (not included) for 24-hour monitoring.

Super Night Vision & WDR

The dash cam features Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which automatically adjusts brightness to improve video clarity in varying light conditions. This enhances visibility in both strong light and low-light environments, ensuring clear recordings even at night.

Figure 9: WDR technology provides clear video capture in low-light and nighttime conditions.

Other Functions

• Voice Recording: The dash cam can record audio inside the vehicle. This feature can be toggled on/off in the settings.
• Photo Function: Capture still images by pressing the designated button during recording or in standby mode.
• Playback: Access recorded videos and photos directly on the dash cam's IPS screen. Navigate through files using the control buttons.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam.

• SD Card Formatting: It is recommended to format the SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. This can be done through the dash cam's settings menu.
• Cleaning Lenses: Gently wipe the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or smudges that may affect video clarity.
• Firmware Updates: Check the official DKK website periodically for any available firmware updates to improve performance or add new features.
